Colossians 3:9-10
"Don't lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him."
We started the day very early in order to leave the seminary by 7:30am. Of course, in Venezuelan time, 7:30 means 8:30ish so we left a little later than we expected. On the ride to the church, Parker (probie) was interrogated on his intentions with the lovely Jessica by the entire van, however, mostly Scott and Matt. Parker squirmed a little, but did well under the pressure. Once we made it to the site and Parker could breathe a sigh of relief, we once again got right to work. Today we repeated everything we did yesterday, except the next row of holes over. The sun was still beaming down on us today, but thankfully our prayers were answered and we had times of overcast weather. At one point or another most of the group worked on filling holes around the foundations that were poured yesterday. Stacy had a unique leveling technique, using her body as a shovel after Agnes loosened the dirt for her. Parker and Medardo (Venezuelan Site Leader) worked together, with the help of Jessica's translating skills, to create the wooden boxes that the concrete foundations would be poured into. Scott, Smith (Pastor Smit), Kathy R., Dillon, Rick and Pam worked to mix and pour the concrete into the boxes for the columns that will support the second floor. John, Matt, Kathy G., and Steve constructed a new wall for the inside of the chuch which will seperate a bathroom and the clinic. The day concluded with a game of kicking ball with the children and balloon animals that Scott and Kathy R. created with the help of Kim and Matt pumping ability.
We finished up the amazing day with a devotion led by Kathy R. entitled "Under Construction." While your life is not always perfect, God is always working on your road.
We are over halfway done! Please continue to pray for us. We miss you!
